Gorgeous singer/songwriter/rapper/producer, Estelle, tries her luck in the fashion world by teaming up with fashion designer Jonathan Kelsey. Kelsey who’s known best for his shoe designs have been tapped by Belvedere Vodka to do a duet collaboration in designing the Belvie Bag, in conjunction with the vodka brand’s launch for Belvedere Black Raspberry.

Estelle’s thoughts on her collaboration with Kelsey:

“Jonathan does great shoes, let me say that for a start! He’s also a lovely guy, really sweet and it’s not often you get to meet people that genuine in this industry. When I saw the ideas he had for The Belvie I thought, ‘Now I can definitely work that handbag from day to night’!”

Estelle is the inspiration behind this cream and gold Italian leather oversized tote bag. Kelsey lined the bag with a raspberry-colored plush suede lining, which makes the bag all the more luxurious. Estelle has a personal definition of luxury:

“[Luxury is] Being able to have the things you want and really being able to afford them, to get them at your whim rather than scrimping and saving for them. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, just something you want. Me? I’m a ’shoe freak’…I love shoes, I have a whole room full of them, they’re everywhere, I can’t ever give a pair back once I’ve tried them on, it’s becoming a real problem. I go to sleep wearing them!”

The tote bag was launched on Wednesday, 29 April in New York, and if you happen to be in London right now, punch this into your organizer: there will be a pop-up store in Mount Street between 5-9 May. You can purchase this limited edition bag for £900.  That’s about $1330.  If this is a bit too steep for ya, well, be there from 9 a.m. as one of the first 100 visitors to step into the pop-up store on the 5th of May will win a Belvie.

From the fab bunch, we have Carrie Underwood leading the way with her golden sparkly dress.

While we love Jennifer Hudson’s red carpet dress, we also had our eyes set on her stagewear.  She looked amazing!

British star, Estelle, rocked a sparkly number which complemented Kanye’s… err… blazer.  Okay, now we have a question: could it be Estelle has serious insecurity issues about her hips?  She keeps on wearing dresses with fake hips!  Or was it Kanye’s idea?  We’ll never know.  Note to Yeezy: while we love your boldness, glittery stuff is really girls’ domain.

Fantasia looked fantastic with her embellished dress.  We’re just not really feelin’ the shoes.

We absolutely love Gwyneth Paltrow’s metallic strapless mini dress!  And for the dress’ sake, we’ll forget her ‘British’ word-drop: “…the utterly brilliant Radiohead”.  Why don’t we just leave the British thing to Madonna for now.

To tell you the truth, we’re kinda down and out with celebrities wearing those Herve Leger bandage dress.  But Tiny rocked the metallic version this time.  She grew a sense of style!  We’re not really with TI this time, ‘coz we prefer his undone tuxedo look when he performed with the “Rap Pack” onstage.

Paula Abdul tried to get on board the metallic glam trend, but she boarded the fashion trainwreck instead.  Nice try, Paula.

And so did Katy Perry, who puts rhinestones on her ‘fruity’ getup.  Thank God it’s just for show.  She actually looked much better on the red carpet.

Any thoughts on this looming trend, people?

First time we saw Estelle wearing this outrageous blue dress, we thought: “WHOA! Has Estelle grown new hips?”  Come on, this is way too much.  While some other women are not too crazy about their hips, Estelle puts hers with definition.  We gotta admire her for the guts.  And Jessica Alba didn’t wait too long to snatch this trend, with a subtler red hip-magnifying dress.

We don’t really get this hip wave, but some of our friends think it’s kinda daring and worth trying out.  Guess what, we found some hip-defining everyday wear, and we actually think they are beyond cool.  Here ya go.
